 * I’m having an issue with correct reporting of my stats and I’m trying to figure
   out why. I’ve spoken to reps at Google and they said that I have multiple codes
   in my source code area. I cannot find them and I’m really annoyed because I feel
   that it is affecting my numbers. Who can help me with this?

 * Do I even need the Yoast Google Analytics Dashboard in WordPress if I have regular
   Google Analytics?

 * Ah, there’s your problem. 🙂
 * The Yoast plugin adds the Google Analytics code to your site, so you’ll need 
   to decide if you want to manually add the code and not use the plugin, or remove
   the code you manually added and use the plugin instead.

 * Ok, I manually added the code. Now how many UA-codes does it show that I have?
 * Also, where is the correct placement for the UA-code? In my header and footer
   plugin or the site itself?

 * I see two, one manually added by you, and one added by the plugin, which is the
   problem as mentioned above. You need to pick one and stick with it.

 * Google changed that sometime after I stopped using GA. Just make sure that you’re
   following the instructions in your Google Analytics account.

 * Gotcha. I deleted the plugin. Hopefully now my numbers will start displaying 
   correctly.

 * You’re welcome!
 * I only see one set of GA tags on your site now.
